Sounds like your tires are fighting each other one hard turns . Some scrubbing is normal with suspension changes but to be really hard isnt normal. I lowered the front on my Chevelle with a complete UMI suspension they sent me all the angles needed on the alignment to track correctly . I gave them to the first "alignment" shop got the car back and it felt like I was in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement. Took it to another place that delt with street rods and lowered vehicles . They did it with the specs and tweaked it a little to my drop. Car has no power steering and is easy to park .

Sounds like a camber/caster problem
